Abortion

1. Abortion – 1. The act of giving untimely birth to offspring, premature delivery, miscarriage; the procuring of premature delivery so as to destroy offspring.
2. Murder – 1. a. The most heinous kind of criminal homicide; also, an instance of this. In English (also Sc. and S.) Law, defined as the unlawful killing of a human being with malice aforethought; often more explicitly wilful murder.

III.   The question of “abortion” is “when does life begin?”

1. God is crystal clear that life begins at conception.

1. Isa 7:14 Therefore the Lord himself shall give you a sign; Behold, a virgin shall conceive, and bear a son, and shall call his name Immanuel.

Mat 1:23  Behold, a virgin shall be with child, and shall bring forth a son, and they shall call his name Emmanuel, which being interpreted is, God with us.

Rom 9:10  And not only this; but when Rebecca also had conceived by one, even by our father Isaac;

Rom 9:11  (For the children being not yet born, neither having done any good or evil, that the purpose of God according to election might stand, not of works, but of him that calleth;)

2Sa 11:5  And the woman conceived, and sent and told David, and said, I am with child.

Exo 21:22  If men strive, and hurt a woman with child, so that her fruit depart from her, and yet no mischief follow: he shall be surely punished, according as the woman’s husband will lay upon him; and he shall pay as the judges determine.

Jer 1:5  Before I formed thee in the belly I knew thee; and before thou camest forth out of the womb I sanctified thee, and I ordained thee a prophet unto the nations.

1. “Aborting” a child before birth is KILLING it.

Jer 20:17  Because he slew me not from the womb; or that my mother might have been my grave, and her womb to be always great with me.

VII.            Women today have become hardened against their children like ostriches.

Lam 4:3  Even the sea monsters draw out the breast, they give suck to their young ones: the daughter of my people is become cruel, like the ostriches in the wilderness.

Job 39:13  Gavest thou the goodly wings unto the peacocks? or wings and feathers unto the ostrich?

Job 39:14  Which leaveth her eggs in the earth, and warmeth them in dust,

Job 39:15  And forgetteth that the foot may crush them, or that the wild beast may break them.

Job 39:16  She is hardened against her young ones, as though they were not hers: her labour is in vain without fear;

Job 39:17  Because God hath deprived her of wisdom, neither hath he imparted to her understanding.

VIII.         If you have committed this sin, just know that there is forgiveness with God.

Psa 130:3  If thou, LORD, shouldest mark iniquities, O Lord, who shall stand?

Psa 130:4  But there is forgiveness with thee, that thou mayest be feared.

1Jn 1:9  If we confess our sins, he is faithful and just to forgive us our sins, and to cleanse us from all unrighteousness.
